Build, Deploy, and Maintain AI for an Unpredictable World
Striveworks helps organizations harness the power of artificial intelligence to solve real-world national security and business challenges by serving as the command center between data, models, and business outcomes. Founded by data scientists and engineers, Striveworks set out to make the journey from deployment to ongoing optimization simple and effective.
With Striveworks, organizations aren’t just deploying AI—they’re building systems that remain reliable, adaptable, and ready to scale in an unpredictable world. Mission-critical operations require models that perform where they’re deployed, scale as workloads grow, and adapt rapidly as AI capabilities advance. Striveworks meets these demands, increasing reliability and performance while lowering costs—and enabling confident, data-driven decision-making in dynamic environments.
The Role
As a Senior DevOps Engineer at Striveworks, you will be challenged—and trusted—on day one to take ownership of specific product deployments by maintaining, optimizing, and enhancing our on-premises and cloud computing environments. You will play a crucial role in the successful deployment of our software solutions to clients. You will be responsible for executing technical aspects of implementation projects and for ensuring the seamless integration, customization, and configuration of our software. You will be responsible for maintaining Striveworks’ software deployments using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) methodologies. Your expertise will play a critical role for the company as we deploy new instances of Striveworks’ AI operations (AIOps) capabilities to customer infrastructure.
You are right for this opportunity if you value and possess technical expertise and you enjoy pushing the boundaries of your capabilities.
Your day-to-day will include:
- Automating IaC to manage virtual machines and deploy containers, services, and other infrastructure; applying your expertise to deploy custom Kubernetes clusters in AWS, Azure, GCP, on-premises, or hybrid cloud environments
- Working with platform developers, other DevOps teammates, and customer-facing teams to define requirements and build solutions for customer use cases of the platform
- Software deployments to commercial and, later, unclassified, CUI, and classified Department of Defense (DOD) networks
- Incident response and initial triage of critical system faults
The Senior DevOps Engineer works on the DevOps team. You will be responsible for monitoring, automating, and improving software reliability, performance, and availability for various projects. You will also act as a liaison between platform developers and customer-facing teams, taking on operational tasks to ensure the efficient functioning of Striveworks’ solutions. You will work alongside a team of software engineers and data scientists to help them deploy and operate their work as functional products, learning from them so that building effective AI solutions becomes second nature. You might provide guidance and leadership to junior DevOps team members.
You will directly contribute to the success of mission-critical systems within national security and commercial clients. You will be expected to wear multiple hats and to step into vacuums where improvements are needed, and you will be given the breadth to explore new technologies and solutions.
This position offers a hybrid/on-site work environment at customer sites at Schofield Barracks in Oߵahu, Hawaiߵi. You will be expected to travel up to 30% of the time, including some international travel.
The Right Fit
In addition to the specific skills and expertise detailed below, we are looking for individuals who share our values. Sharing a set of values allows us to move at the speed of trust.
Collectively, we value a high-trust work environment where people respect each other and use candor kindly and constructively. We value work that intersects passion and perseverance, we geek out about the potential of our contributions, and we find joy in working hard on things that matter. Finally, we value taking ownership, having agency, and feeling individual responsibility for collective results.
Here’s what we’re looking for:
- 6+ years of direct, hands-on experience in:
- Python and/or Golang programming or other general-purpose programming languages
- Microservice deployment in Kubernetes
- Diagnosing and resolving issues within containerized environments
- Helm Chart and Kustomizations development/deployment
- Automation and IaC (e.g., Terraform, Ansible)
- Cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP, or OpenStack)
- Managing and troubleshooting Linux systems (e.g., RHEL, Ubuntu, CentOS)
- The ability to work cross functionally to define requirements and build solutions for customer use cases of the platform
- The ability to respond professionally and competently to incident reports and triage critical system faults in environments where customers are present
- Active Secret (or above) US security clearance
- Due to the nature of this role, candidates must have US citizenship
The Wish List
We are very interested in candidates who possess the above qualifications, and we appreciate and consider the addition of:
- Experience with DOD networking, tools, infrastructure, security requirements, and policies
- Proficiency with US federal information system security policies, including Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs), NIST SP 800-171, NIST SP 800-53, CMMC, and ICD 503
- Experience with software deployments to on-premises and cloud-based unclassified, CUI, and classified networks within the DOD
- Experience with DevSecOps/DevOps and CI/CD for the administration and deployment of GPU-enabled servers
- Experience deploying or maintaining Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) projects
- Experience with network-attached storage (NAS) and storage area network (SAN) technologies
- Experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native applications and services in denied, disrupted, intermittent, and limited (DDIL) impact environments
